The National Addiction Memorial honors the loved ones we’ve lost.

My son was so bright and talented. Miles was an exceptional drummer and a plumber...he could fix anything. Miles had a heart of gold. Miles was quite an extremely talented artist.

So....going to visit Santa Cruz, CA his birthplace for Miles' sister's high school graduation was such a fun trip.
Hearing Miles play drums at his first gig was awesome!

I miss his scent, his laugh, twinkling eyes, gentle nature ... I miss everything about my son 🥰

A musician, an artist, an animal lover, deep thinker & always there to help someone in need

Sweet and loving. Always there for others. Loved his family like crazy!!!

Being in the car and listening to all the music he had to show me.

Hugs and smiles.

Ruth had an awesome smile and a beautiful heart... a heart for Jesus. Her addiction took her away far too soon.

Her laughter and her ability to make me laugh.

How much she truly loved me.

As a Christian woman who is loved by God and wanted everyone around her to know they are loved by Him, as well.

Watching him play with his nieces.

His hugs and telling me he loves me everyday.

As a fighter who never gave up trying to get better and clean.

She was my first born child , beautiful and funny & fun loving. A sister,mother,& friend to all.

Too many to mention.

The old Kimberly.
Before drugs changed EVERYTHING about her.

As a loving beautiful dynamic woman.

Singing together laughing

His unconditional love for all people

Always loveable. Full of fun and mischief. Loved family. Saw the good in everybody. Loved the Lord.

Sneaking him out of daycare to go to the office with me when his Dad was out of town

His phone calls and texts

Loved life

Riley was energetic funny & friend to all. I don't know anyone who had anything but a fond encounter with Riley he will be deeply missed by all who knew him
Riley will be forever in my heart
I will always love you Riley
You are very much missed

Watching Riley playing sports especially basketball & enjoying time with his father & family

He was a good friend to many & treated others with respect & compation

Sebastian was witty, he understood even the smallest hints.He was an amazing chef.He was funny to the point your stomach hurt from laughing.He was gay & proud.He loved his family.He kept in touch.
He cared & listened.He took our hearts when he left.

All of my memories of Sebastian consisted of laughing, hugging, and longs conversations. Sebastian gave the best hugs. His mom says he just fit. Mimicking everyone, is what we did most, but we had so many private, special, candid talks. He spoke, I listened and offered advice and Vice versa. He gave the greatest advice and he really listened. When he said I love you, he meant it. I just wish he saw himself through my eyes, for I saw perfection.

I'll miss Sebastian's smile, laugh, and sense of humor. I'll miss his hugs. I'll miss being able to call him and talk. I'll miss him until my last breath.

I'm sure Sebastian would like to be remembered as the person he was before he became addicted & the person he was every time he had time clean battling this soul sniping drug. A chef,a funny guy,a caring person,reliable,honest,smart,witty, adventurous,a great student,an amazing son, brother,nephew,cousin,friend. Although he didn't think he was all of those things when he became addicted,my opinion of him never changed and my love never faltered. I'll miss him every minute of every day

Maryann was very special to a lot of people. She was the life of any garthing. So many people thought highly of her. She was the typed of person that would do anything for her loved ones. She is missed so much my may.

I have a lot of good memories with Maryann but I think my favorite one was when we planned a trip to the Magic Kingdom!!

Her beautiful smile, her voice, hugs. Just hanging out together.

Seeing the best in people.

He was always seeking different paths in life. He loved his family. He tried hard to overcome obstacles. Just wanted to be loved.

A haircut his sister gave him. She accidentally cut a big bald spot. We were all laugh so hard and he had a good sense of humor about it.

Sharing in his life. Holidays & family time.

As a father who loved his daughter and a brother who really loved his sister Michelle and loved his family

My brother was there for alot of people. His family, his rich friends, his down on their luck friends.
It is with sadness he couldn't find his peace in himself☹️

He taught our kids to go fishing and then clean them. Just like our dad and grandpa. " You catch them you, you clean them!"

His teasing smile and his eyes. He made everyone laugh around him.
He was a self employed carpenter by trade. Sure miss his honest opinion that he got from dad

Hard working
fun loving
LOVED kids
Proud American with a rebel flag.
Loved Eagles and now flies with them

Sarah was a sensitive talented intelligent beautiful young woman. She was a child with wonder for a beautiful future. She was a ballerina, a writer, and a comedian. Struggling for over 15 years with addiction. We tried to help but couldn't

Our trip to Alaska

Her funny sence of humor

By her intelligence and strength

Inspirational videos he would send at 5am. Our long talks. Going out to eat. His cooking skills were phenomena, he put me to shame. Our visit to Time Square Church ⛪️. Everything was my favorite. Oh and our routine coffee runs.

His generous persona, you felt at ease around him. Having him listen to me vent and always having a positive resolution. All around good guy.

Not for his addiction, instead, the person he truly was. He was awesome. Very giving and understanding even while dealing with his own issues. I miss you so much Dennis. Save a spot for me when I get there !

His smile

Watching him play soccer. He was amazing with his dog saydi and loved his family so very much.

Everything

Helping others get clean and sober

My son was the guy to help everyone. He had a heart of gold. If you ever needed a smile or a good laugh; he was your man. He loved his family and friends, wanted to make everyone happy.

I have to many favorite memories to be able to pick just one. Louie; dancing and singing... telling jokes... taking care of others and pets.

I miss everything... his voice, his smile, his hug... making me laugh when all I wanted to do was cry. I miss hearing "I love you Mama". I miss hearing his loud sports car with the radio blasting driving down my street. I miss our lunch and dinner dates, our long car rides. I miss it all! I miss him with all my heart.

Louie would like to be remembered as the funny guy; the guy that could and did always make people laugh.... even in their darkest moments. He would like to be remembered of the love he had for others and for animals, especially dogs.

Jarred was the most loving big hearted person who always tried to help others and worked hard with his hands . He was a master at flooring and painting but most of all loved his kids family and friends. He loved the outdoors

Jarred had beautiful green eyes and a smile that melted everyone and he was a big brother to so many . He gave back in his recovery and learned a lot about his spirituality . He was tough and my favorite memories are all the times he spent with his kids . Playing like a child himself and doing all the things they loved . He joked and had nicknames for them . Maddie Elliot and Isaiah he called Doyle , Loady and Izeeeah , just to be funny and loved to give hugs to everyone . A friend of many

I will miss the smile and sparkle
He had in his eyes and the way he encouraged me to fight thru anything , I miss how he laughed and joked and always wanted to make me smile , wishing the best for everyone . He had many struggles but was always there to help and worked hard to show he cared for his family . A master at his trade he was a perfectionist . He was humble about his work but he did everything to perfection and it showed when he was finished a job. I miss his singing country songs .

Jarred would like to be remembered as a great daddy and brother and son , with a huge and humble heart who loved with all he had . He would want people to always remember his willingness to help others and his generosity when he was able to do for others he gave back in so many ways . He was a man of strength and would want people to know he was grateful to anyone who stuck by him . He would like people to say he loved his recovery and would help anyone he could . He loved his higher power, God
